After weeks of speculation and cryptic tweets, Harry Styles has finally confirmed his third album. The 27-year-old pop star has released a 13-track project called Harry's House, and it will be available to stream on May 20. It is the follow-up to his 2019 sophomore album Fine Line.
The album's release date will vary depending on where you live. For example, if you are in New Zealand, the album will drop at midnight local time on May 20th. If you are in America, the album will be available to stream at 12:00 AM on May 20th.
In recent days, business leaders and Chambers of Commerce have been pushing the government to build HS3. The high-speed rail link has been described as a "Northern Powerhouse" line that will bring investment to cities in the North like Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Hull. This will create jobs and boost productivity. In addition, it will also reduce unemployment in these areas.
But the project hasn't been without controversy. One of the key issues is that the government plans to spend PS87bn on the new high-speed line between London and Birmingham, before branching out in two forks to Manchester and Leeds. This is a big chunk of the PS50bn budget for transport in the UK.
The chairman of HS2 Ltd, Sir David Higgins, has argued that the plan for northern connections needs to be taken up and implemented before HS2. Otherwise, he says, introducing a separate high-speed line to the North will just unbalance the economy.
